Jennifer Melle wins settlement from NHS

[RoyalCorgi]

Haven't seen a thread about this anywhere else, but Jennifer Melle, the nurse who refused to refer to a convicted sex offender by his preferred pronouns, and was disciplined, has won a settlement from the NHS trust she works for.

Ha ha. You are so desperate to shill for this man😁.
I prefer my version

Because he threatened her.

Yep, the shill of yet another desperate grasp whinge of “why don’t you pesky wimenz just do what youre TOLD!!!”

I don’t think anyone has suggested that he had no right to be treated because he was a paedophile?

Even a nice trans person has no right not to be called “Mr”. Because he’s a man

Leaving aside the issue of pronouns etc for a moment, this case really highlights how vulnerable women are in certain public-sector jobs. Teaching, social work, nursing - all jobs where aggressive, quick-to-anger men or boys might suddenly commit assault against you or hurl abuse and threats at you. And if they do, there is always someone, somewhere who will blame you for having provoked them.

I'm looking forward to the Easter holidays being finished, maybe the influx of TRA posters we are getting recently on various FWR threads will die down as they go back to school/college/university.

This was a pretty open and shut case, and Jennifer was completely in the right, yet still we can't even celebrate her justified win against a...(checks notes) violent 6ft male paedophile who was chained to prison guards who not only racially abused her, but lunged at her and had to be restrained. No, we can't even have a thread to celebrate and thank the heavens that justice has been served without a victim-blaming poster plopping along to remind us that males, regardless of their crimes, their violence, their racism, must always, always be centred.

I'm tired of it all, and I applaud the PP who have calmly explained the details of this case with patience to demonstrate quite clearly that Jennifer did nothing wrong, nothing. I hope she is able to take solace in this win and know how many of us are behind her.

No, but it is much less likely for a woman (female) to be physically aggressive than a man (male).

That is NOT the same as saying women are never aggressive. They are (on average) less dangerous than a male when they are.

Lol, I am almost 60 and have been on FWR since 2017. Got myself radicalised for a bit there too. Til I realised from my contacts with trans people in the real world that most trans people (unlike the person this thread is about) are just ordinary people.

So no GRC and the hospital had ALREADY effectively 'misgendered' because there was no GRC/known medical discussion on record of transition (aka as a prisoner trying shit on)

But somehow she's in the wrong despite the legal status here being reasonably on her side.

Fuck that shit.

Why are women always to blame for some male fcukers behaviours.

I realised that from my close relationships with numerous transpeople (which clearly is a story in itself), that yes they are mostly normal people but normal people can be highly damaged and highly toxic...

Do you understand that this board doesn't deal with that though?

It deals with the men who are violent, the ones who do want to get into women's intimate spaces, against their consent, who do want to punch them in the Olympic boxing ring, do threaten them at their rallies, who insist on being called lesbians and who want to medicate children.

Many women here know transwomen who aren't interested in any of that. So what?

Well I suppose it depends whether you think deluding yourself to be the opposite sex and then demanding the rest of the world goes along with that delusion is "ordinary" behaviour doesn't it?

Yes, isn’t it like saying… well I know a man, he’s lovely and kind, so all men must be lovely and kind?

I thought this thread was about Jennifer Melle. Is she not an ordinary person?

NHS trusts all over the UK spend huge amounts of money compensating staff and patients it’s outrageous!

Yep

It's nonsense. "I know Bob and Bob is nice therefore anyone vaguely like Bob must be nice too. I don't believe you can possibly know anyone like Bob, therefore I'm going to call you a bigot rather than acknowledge your lived experience of Fred who you happen to be related to / known since early childhood because I know best and Bob is the only one who really matters and we can't talk about Fred because that might make people wonder if it's a personality thing rather than a Gender Identity thing and thus people with a GI must all be nice because of Bob being the sole template. If I accept it's a personality thing I have to ask some other difficult questions...

I haven't called anyone a bigot.

Sure.
How about you answer @Datun 's post at 20:37?

#AllBobsAreKind #NoDebate…

My "lived experience" of this board differs from Datun's assertion.

@AlwaysNuance can you clarify please? getting some kind of heightened response in that situation was pretty predictable
so it was Jennifer’s fault that he behaved like that?

Exactly.

It's such a silly thing to say.

You think a HCP would say someone was "previously male"?

Nope. Being called Mr doesn't cause racism.
